In 2016, Hoffman released a country music album entitled Redneck Shit, under the alias Wheeler Walker, Jr.[6] It debuted at No. 9 on the Top Country Albums chart and No. 1 on the Comedy Albums chart, selling 5,900 copies in the first week.[7]

On January 19, 2019, in response to seeing a video of an incident in Washington, involving among others a Kentucky schoolboy, Hoffman posted to his Wheeler Walker Jr. Twitter account: "If you know this little shit, punch him in the nuts and send me the video of it and I’ll send you all my albums on vinyl, autographed", followed by a close-up picture of the face of an involved teenager.[9] A few days prior on Twitter he went off on a rant about Carrie Underwood, Jason Aldean, Kelsea Ballerini, Thomas Rhett, Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban, Brett Young and other country musicians.[10] His Twitter and Instagram accounts were deleted shortly after the backlash he received for encouraging violence against the teenager.[11]
